Quick guide from the manual

This 12FT Skelly with Servo is a large-scale decoration requiring at least 2 adults for assembly (3 are strongly recommended). The product features an IR sensor, 3 function settings, and 8 eye modes. Ensure all cables are connected correctly and the adapter is plugged into a live outlet for proper operation.

Assembly

Assembly involves connecting the base, support poles, legs, pelvis, spine, rib cage, arms, and head. Use the included M6 hex wrench and a small Phillips screwdriver (not included). Follow the step-by-step diagrams carefully, ensuring all locking pins click into place and cable arrow indicators are aligned before tightening.

Operation

The control box is located underneath the pelvis. It has two buttons: one for power/mode selection and one for eye options. The skeleton can also be controlled via the included remote control (range up to 20 ft). The remote requires 2 x 1.5V AAA batteries.

Function Settings

  • Lights Only: Lights stay on indefinitely.
  • Timer/Sensor: Eyes on for 6 hours, off for 18 hours. IR sensor triggers an 18-second animation cycle during the 6-hour active period.
  • Off/Step Pad: Deactivated unless the step pad is pressed, which triggers an 18-second animation cycle.

Safety and Maintenance

This item is for decoration only and is not a toy. Keep away from children. Do not push, tilt, or climb on the product. Use only the provided adapter. Store in original packaging away from heat and moisture. Remove batteries from the remote when not in use.

Troubleshooting

If the skeleton does not function (e.g., eyes don't light up), check all cable connections. If it does not activate, ensure the adapter is plugged in. If the remote is unresponsive, check the 20 ft range and replace the AAA batteries.
